Running Speaker Wire?
Going to be installing new door speakers and was searching for links showing how to run the wires from the front doors to an amp in the rear. Want to make sure I'm taking all panels off correctly. Thanks

There's an Audio/ Electronics subforum in the "General" scroll down. Learned a whole bunch here.
If you've worked on installs involving speaker wire in other vehicles, you'll find the c5 very easy to work.

in most cases you don't need to but you can if it's a final step in a high powered system
the factory wiring can be tapped in the dash and it runs perfectly to the doors.
if you are bi amping and using active crossovers on the mids and highs you have to run wire but it's often a bitch to do it 100% factory correct

I'm using 9 conductor cable to go from the amp to the harness and a 4 channel RCA cable.
It simplifies the heck out of all the mess.
I run it from the rear bulk head to the drivers side rear then behind the seat then drivers floor to behind the head unit. Then connect the 8 speaker wires to the harness and the extra wire to the amp trigger.
Power cables are run on the passenger side of mine.
8 or 9 conductor cable can be purchased on amazon, eBay or a stereo shop.

Here's some articles from the How-To's section of the forum that'll help you with the door panel removal. https://www.corvetteforum.com/how-tos/c/interior-37482/
